“We will enjoy our peace in poverty than the little peanut contribution of the company (Newmont Gold Ghana) and up bring of disunity, confusion, indiscipline and other social vices to the Techire community. The company’s actions and inactions have been making community administration and governance very difficult” he told Metro FM.
Nana John Acheampong said the community leaders do not want the worst to happen any national outcry, that’s why “we, therefore, entreat the Newmont Ghana Gold Ltd to check or better call off its activities or face the wrath of our ancestors”.
